Imgur used to be my favorite site for quickly sharing some images, but
they messed up the site and now you can't upload a bunch of images
easily to get a link with a thumbnail overview for quick sharing.
Postimage has mysteriously gone offline it seems (oh I see they
have some technical issues, hopefully a temporary problem).

What are people's favorite sites for quick and convenient sharing
of a bunch of images?

My desired features are that it's easy to upload a number of images
all at once to obtain a link to an overview of thumbnails.

Yeah, but flickr and pbase are not so convenient, because you have
to create an account there. Often I prefer sharing without any links to any accounts and the hassle of usernames and passwords.
Though I also have a flickr account for sharing images in a more
persistent fashion.

If you can just upload images to obtain a link for sharing, that's
easier for casual use on social media, chats or forums.

big deal.

There really is no need for the hassle of creating and maintaining
accounts in case you just want to share a bunch of images quickly.

then link directly to where you stole them from, so that the creators
get credit.

Well, that's exactly what imgur used to do automatically (showing
links to the locations where the uploaded images were originally
found next to the uploaded images in an album), so that doesn't
detract from the idea of quick and convenient sharing.

If I search at google for images, it also links back to various
sites where it found those images, but it presents them in a
thumbnail overview independent of the way those images are
found at their respective location.

Besides, even if I upload images from disk rather than directly
via the url, anyone can easily source the image via google to
figure out who originally created or shared it or who deserves
credit for an image (if this even applies).
Though I also have a flickr account for sharing images in a more

hypocrite.

You're just utterly clueless about the reality of how information
is being shared online.
Just as clueless as those idiots from playboy who were seriously
suggesting they had the right to obtain ip addresses from the
millions of people who viewed a collection of their images on
imgur.

At no point did I create any account at imgbox.
I *could* create an account there, but the whole point of this
discussion is that I don't have to create an account there
just because I want to share a bunch of images quickly and
conveniently.

Just because there are also situations where I do want to share
images linked to a personal account, doesn't mean that there can't
be other situations where I don't want to involve any personal
account in order to share a bunch of images.

This thread in particular is about sharing images without the hassle
of linking them to a personal account.

With your history in this news group, I don't have to wonder why.

Why don't you just post through an anonimizer? That will achieve what
you are really after.
